The starting bid of one gold soul coin immediately ignited the mockery of some people in the room.
"I'll offer 100 gold soul coins! Just for fun, let's see what kind of joke this Haotian Douluo wrote in his letter!"
A well-dressed, plump merchant shouted loudly, drawing a burst of laughter.
Prince Xuexing snorted coldly, not bothering to bother with such a person.
"One million gold soul coins."
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
The fat businessman's smile froze on his face, and he sat back down dejectedly.
One million for a letter?
This is insane!
Everyone stared at the Heavenly Dou Royal Family's private room as if they were looking at a madman.
"This guy is really rich and powerful."
Yu Luomian was also secretly amazed in the private room.
However, he also tentatively made an offer.
After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was also worried that they might one day end up like the Clear Sky Sect. They might as well take a look at what this letter contained!
"Two million gold soul coins."
The price doubled.
Inside the venue.
Tang Xiao looked at the letter on the stage and his Adam's apple bobbed when he heard the bid of two million.
"Sect Master Ning, this, two million??? I..."
Ning Liu didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly with her chin towards the auction stage.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao paused for a moment, then pressed the price increase button.
"Five million gold soul coins."
Whoosh—!
The entire venue erupted in chaos.
Would anyone really spend that much money to buy a letter?
"Could they be from the Haotian Sect?!"
"So what if they're from the Clear Sky Sect? Why would they need to photograph Tang Hao's letter? Didn't they expel Tang Hao from the sect long ago?"
From Prince Xuexing's private room, a crisp sound came from a glass being crushed.
"Six million."
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tang Xiao's forehead.
It's not that he's never seen anything like it.
But today's bizarre situation made him feel extremely uneasy.
Using an outsider's money to photograph his own brother's letter, which was then displayed to the entire world.
Every bid felt like cutting my own heart with a knife.
He looked at Ning Liu, hoping the other party could give him a limit.
Ning Liu simply picked up his teacup, gently blew on the floating tea leaves, and didn't even bother to glance at them.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
"Ten million gold soul coins."
The moment this number was announced, even DouDou on the auction stage froze with a smile.
Ten million!
That's enough to buy a top-tier soul bone!
Yu Luomian remained silent.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is large and powerful, they still lack the confidence to pay such a price for a letter of unknown authenticity!
There was also no further sound from Prince Xuexing's side.
He represents the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, and it's impossible for him to act so recklessly.
"Ten million! Is there a higher price?"
He looked around the entire room.
"Ten million once!"
"Ten million twice!"
Just as DouDou was about to bring down the hammer, Ning Liu's lowered eyelids suddenly lifted slightly.
His hand made an upward motion in the air.
Keep adding.
Tang Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted.
Should we add more?
Adding to yourself?
What does this mean?
He didn't understand, but he could only do as he was told.
"Twenty million."
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Everyone was baffled by this stroke of genius.
If no one else is bidding, why are you still trying to raise the price yourself? Is this because you have too much money to spend, or are you showing off to certain people?
DouDou was also stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"Twenty million!"
"This VIP has offered twenty million!"
"Are there any higher ones?"
This time, no one answered.
clang--!
The crisp sound of the hammer striking the ground sealed the deal.
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest! You have successfully bid for the handwritten letter from Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo!"
As Dou Dou's voice faded, Tang Xiao felt as if all his strength had been drained, slumping into a chair and panting heavily.
Twenty million!
Even if you sold the entire Haotian Sect now, you probably wouldn't get 20 million!
Meanwhile, a system notification sounded in Ning Liu's mind.
[Ding! Auction successful! Auction price: 20 million!]
[This auction offers a 100x payout!]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the secret technique of the Haotian Sect—the Great Sumeru Hammer—and its complete cultivation guide!]
Ning Liu paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.
The Great Sumeru Hammer?
This system... it really wants me to take down the Haotian Sect as well.
DouDou's voice rang out again on the auction stage.
"Distinguished guests, all the items for this Tian Dou Auction have now been presented."
Thank you for coming.
"In addition, the Rare Items Exchange will officially open to the public soon, and everyone is welcome to come and appraise treasures."
After DouDou finished speaking, she gracefully bowed and slowly left the stage amidst enthusiastic applause.
The auction has officially come to an end.
Meanwhile, the system notification sound refreshed in Ning Liu's mind once again.
[Ding! The Heavenly Dou Auction has ended]
Overall rating: Commendable.
[Special Reward: 3 Divine Soul Rings]
[System Notification: Starting from the next auction, the limit will revert to ten returnable items per auction session. Host, please participate actively and don't let a sure thing slip away!]
Ning Liu's lips twitched as he looked at the phrase "the cooked duck flew away".
It seems the system harbors a deep grudge about something being stolen from it by Tang Hao last time.
However, three divinely bestowed soul rings!
This reward is quite appropriate.
It's time for the Empty Dream Sword to absorb a soul ring!
Then, Ning Liu pressed the voice transmission device and gave Li An an instruction.
"Bring the last, most important item to my room."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Soon, Ang Lee respectfully handed over the envelope sealed in kraft paper.
Tang Xiao's gaze was fixed on the letter.
This is it.
He wanted to tear it open immediately to see what was inside...
What utter nonsense did he write?!
Look at his good younger brother, does he have even the slightest bit of remorse?
However, just as his fingers touched the edge of the envelope, they were gently pressed down by a hand.
It is Ning Liu.
"Sect Master Ning?"
Tang Xiao looked up, puzzled.
Ning Liu looked at him calmly.
"The value of this letter lies not only in its contents."
Tang Xiao was taken aback.
Ning Liu stood up and straightened his robes.
Let's go.
"Come with me to see someone."
